Graph Theory Modeling and Dynamics Analysis on the Coupled Planetary Transmission System of HEV
[ Abstract] A graph theory model for the coupled planetary transmission system of hybrid electric vehicle is built, which is then described by the adjacent matrixes of coupled planetary mechanism and components, and the i-somorphic scheme of transmission system is judged by the output code of adjacent matrixes. With consideration of the moments of inertia of coupled planetary mechanism and all components, kinematics and dynamics analyses are conducted on the transmission systems with single and double row coupled planetary mechanism respectively based on graph theory model. These lay a foundation for subsequent performance analysis and transmission scheme optimi-zation.
